Books of Shadows or Grimoires

Books of Shadows are books kept by a Witch or Coven. They are usually sacred texts containing spells, rituals, and potions. Books of shadows are also called Grimoires or Books of Spells.

A number of old books of shadows are out of copyright and freely available online, and I will provide some of those right here, beginning with the Wicca classic The Gardnerian Book of Shadows.
